A fantastic opportunity awaits to own a newly constructed home in The Trails, an exclusive gated community on Gainesville’s desirable west side. This exquisite property sits on a 5-acre lot surrounded by a lush forest of trees. The driveway meanders through the oak trees, leading to the front door and a spacious garage with a turning loop. As you step onto the large paved front porch, you’re greeted by a welcoming entrance foyer that opens into an expansive open-plan living area.
The house features 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot doors throughout, with generous double windows and French doors that offer enchanting views of the trails and farmland beyond. A propane fireplace with custom cabinets on each side serves as the centerpiece. The kitchen is designed with a stunning 10-foot granite island with a breakfast bar, surrounded by custom cabinetry and LED under-cabinet lighting. It’s equipped with a stainless steel 48-inch gas range featuring 8 burners, a double gas oven, a 1200 CFM range hood, and a pot filler.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a large family dining area with framed windows and a coffered ceiling provides a charming space for meals.
On either side of the fireplace, you’ll find two matching bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and private bathrooms featuring 7-foot granite vanities. A framed opening behind the kitchen leads to a hallway with a mud bench, offering access to the garage, a half bathroom, stairs to the upstairs bedroom, a laundry room, and the master suite. The master suite boasts a tray ceiling and large windows on either side, creating an inviting atmosphere. Double doors open to the master bathroom with a freestanding tub, a glass shower enclosure, and a double granite vanity. The master closet offers ample space with custom shelving.
